As you said, that defense is multiple players away..So the quicker way to help that defense ( and the team) could be to add another playmaker on offense. Romo is good (not top 5 but top 15 of the league), Bryant, Murray, Oline...They need another playmaker to pair with Dez and Williams and that offense could be very good. Add Striker and the defense would be better but still..multiple players away. Just a thought.

I think you two are way off. Witten and Escobar, not to mention an expanded role this year for Beasley and the up and coming Devin Street. Add all that to Bryant, Williams, Murray, Dunbar and Ryan Williams...Plus a very stout oline...you dont go offense as a need in this draft...defense defense defense...DTs...DEs...LBs...a playmaking safety...anything but more "weapons on offense"

Not very likely for Chicago... Phil Emery is essentially strictly a need based drafter at this point, ESPECIALLY, in round 1 where he has continuously said he expects his 1st round picks to be starters right away. The reality is almost any DE drafted in the 1st in 2015 would be 4th on the depth chart behind Jared Allen, Lamarr Houston, and Willie Young. If Emery holds true to his statements in the past, the only positions that will likely even have a needed starter would be Center(I'm Garza leaves/retires), Cornerback(If Tillman leaves/retires), Linebacker(If Briggs leaves/retires), and potentially Safety as I don't have much faith in Ryan Mundy or Adrian Wilson at SS.

If the draft fell this way, I'd be shocked if Emery who favors speed and athletes passed on Vic Beasley to play that SLB role in the 43. Hroniss Grasu is another option as Emery loves the athletic, high potential lineman. He has a history playing with Kyle Long too.

Round 2 I like Karl Joseph there, he reminds me a lot of Eric Berry who was drafted by Kansas City when Emery was the Director of College Scouting. He has a lot of traits Emery looks for in DB's, guys that play fast and make plays._________________BEARS----BULLS----DODGERS----KINGS--

11. Cleveland Browns via Buffalo : M.Edwards DE Florida St
Rubin will be free-agent and if he does not play better than in 2013 he could be gone.

I don't hate the pick, but your reasoning is off. The Browns D-line is 6 deep in guys who are solid or better and Rubin played fine in '13. If this is a BPA pick then fine, but the reasoning didn't really fit._________________
